I looked up at the priest, as I was shocked and shaken. While holding down the temple, the chief overlooking me points to Tonton and the stone.

I think that the best way to manage the present situation of Lutz, who has run away, is that Lutz and his family can talk face-to-face, communicate their thoughts and reconcile. Lutz and Lutzโ€™s family are completely passing each other because they arenโ€™t communicating in a situation where they want to say what they want to say.

Is it because I am blessed with a family that I donโ€™t think itโ€™s okay? Is it better for Lutz to leave if it is difficult to stay with the family? That is difficult.

I think that the best way to overcome the current situation is to adopt Benno. You can focus on your work and get a strong backing on your work. There is no need to worry about life. However, adoption is not possible without the permission of the parents. And this time, Benno clearly stated that he wouldnโ€™t come out.

And even if the discussion heats up so much that Benno and Lutzโ€™s father start to runaway, they canโ€™t keep up. No matter what I thought, I couldnโ€™t see a future that would improve.

Unusually, the chief laughed. However, the smile is not refreshing or anything, and it is a grinning smile as if you came up with something bad.

โ€œTo that end, you have to work hard in the afternoon. The library is in check.โ€

โ€œโ€ฆ What is it?โ€

When I was stunned, the priest squinted more happily.

โ€œI heard from Franc. I think you are more effective than the reflection room.โ€

โ€œNo ugly?โ€

โ€ฆโ€ฆ Franch idiot!

When I worked hard on my work from the crying afternoon, the priest gave me an invitation as promised. Lutzโ€™s parents, Benno and Lutz.

โ€œHand over thisโ€

I received an important wooden bill to improve the current state of Lutz as much as possible.

Lutz no longer greets me, so I return with Franc. If you go with Gil to give you an invitation from the priest, you can only see it as a child. If you have an adult franc, your Lutz parents will receive it.

โ€œLetโ€™s give Benno-sama to Lutzโ€

urged by Franc, I visited Gilberta Chamber of Commerce. Ask Marc to go to the back room and call Lutz.

โ€œBenno-san. Compliment, compliment. Look, this!โ€

I ran to Benno with a bouncy gait and offered a wooden bill. Benno, who received the wooden bill with an ugly face, changed his face and dropped lightning as soon as he looked through it.

โ€œโ€ฆ If it was an invitation from the chief priest !? What did you do this time?โ€

โ€œWell, what happened when I talked to the priest about the Lutz runaway and adoption loopholes?โ€

This time I felt like I had done something useful, so I suddenly dropped my thunder and tilted my head.

โ€œWhat are you doing !?โ€

โ€œWhat? What was wrong?โ€

โ€œDonโ€™t let your nobles get involved in these problems! I donโ€™t know what the end will be!โ€

Benno is furious, but I donโ€™t know why. The chief is certainly an aristocrat, but it can be understood by speaking, and it is difficult to understand, but it only worried me.

โ€œBecause the priest wanted to do something for the computer maintenance โ€ฆ and I wanted to do something for Lutzโ€

โ€œMine, Iโ€™m happy, but Iโ€™m usually scared if I get an invitation like this.โ€

When I see the invitation that Lutz is handed over, I hang down. Benno also hangs down and holds his head.

โ€œIf you move for Lutz, an invitation from the priest โ€ฆ or huhโ€

โ€œBecause Mr. Benno said that he couldnโ€™t get out of hand this time, I just consulted an adult who was close to me.โ€

When I suddenly sharpened my lips, Benno struck me with a ferocious light in my reddish brown eyes.

โ€œYes. If I used my full power, threatened the Lutz family, and forced adoption, it wouldnโ€™t have happened โ€ฆโ€

โ€œWhy are you saying scary things ?!โ€

โ€œโ€ฆ Mine, my husband can do that if I really want to do it. My family has troubled the store and I wondered which of my parents and my husband was stronger.โ€ You know without it? โ€œ

I was surprised by Lutzโ€™s words. Gilberta is a casual trader, but Turi said that he was nervous just going to the north, and at first he should have clearly felt the difference from his sphere of life.

Aunt Carla wanted to return Lutz, but it would have been quite courageous, and if the Lutz family who bothered the store received no punishment, Benno would be generous I forgave it.

โ€œWhen youโ€™re going to do this for Lutz, you โ€ฆโ€

โ€œEven the priest is relaxed! Because he thought about the adoption method properlyโ€

โ€œWhat?โ€

โ€œSeriously !?โ€

Benno and Lutz all turned to look here. I will meet and explain to the two what the priest was saying.

โ€œIf Lutz came to the orphanage because he was abandoned by his parents and asked for protection, and Benno decided to take over Lutz, the orphanage, he was adopted by the orphanage and Benno. Is established โ€ฆ โ€œ

โ€œIs the orphanage director you?โ€

Benno grinned and saw me. Itโ€™s a bad idea, but my sign is meaningless.

โ€œBecause Iโ€™m a child, the priest will be signed. So, with Lutzโ€™s parents, Iโ€™ll ask you about the circumstances and make a decision. Thatโ€™s the invitation.โ€

Benno looks at the wooden bill he had in his hand and slowly strokes his chin with his eyebrows.

โ€œYou arenโ€™t quite pleased by the chief priest? Ordinarily, nobles arenโ€™t involved in us?โ€

โ€œIt seems to be an important calculator. Depending on whether I work or not, work efficiency will be different.โ€

โ€œSpeaking of which, Otto was saying that. I should be grateful to Mine this time, but I donโ€™t want to be grateful. What is this feeling of labor โ€ฆโ€

Huh, as if tired, Benno sighed and scratched his head.

โ€œLetโ€™s hand over to Lutzโ€™s parentsโ€

โ€œYesโ€

โ€œItโ€™s bad, Mineโ€

โ€œYes, I should have reported to Aunt Carla anyway. But I came to the orphanage from tomorrow because Lutz came to the orphanage insisting that she was abandoned by her parents.

โ€˜Come on, waving to Lutz and leaving the store, I โ€™m on my way home with Franc.

When I was thinking of going to Lutzโ€™s house, I saw Aunt Carla walking around the well square.

โ€œAunt Carla!โ€

When I called out, the aunt lifted her face as if it had been played and rushed to here. The rounded face is thinned and the eyes look slightly concave.

โ€œMine, it was late. Did you meet Lutz? How was it?โ€

โ€œI was working very seriously, I was fineโ€

โ€œThatโ€™s rightโ€

Aunt Carla, who exhales relievedly, has sent her feelings of thinking about Lutz so painfully. It may be natural that you do not simply accept adoption.

โ€œAunt, this is an invitation from the temple chiefโ€

I take out the wooden bill and present it to Aunt Carla. Aunt unbelievably widened her eyes, turned her complexion blue, and saw the wooden bill.

โ€œโ€ฆ What is the temple?โ€

โ€œLutz asked the orphanage for protection. It was thrown away by parents.โ€

โ€œIs that the one who went out on their own !?โ€

The aunt shouted, but if she shouted it, the invitation would not go away. The invitation from the aristocratic priestess is absolute.

โ€œThatโ€™s why the priest wants to hear from his parents to decide if Lutz should really be protected at an orphanage โ€ฆ Uncle and Aunt come together. It will be three days later, and I want you to come to the temple by the third bell three days later. โ€œ

I tell the contents of the invitation to the aunt who cannot read the letter. The aunt looked back at me, holding the wooden bill as it was presented.

โ€œโ€ฆ Three bells three days later?โ€

โ€œYes. If you show this wooden bill to the gatekeeper, you will be guidedโ€

I reached the convening day three days later.

Going to the temple early, changing into blue clothing and heading to the Priestโ€™s room. Lutz, who stayed in my side serving room, was also in apprenticeship. The reason I stayed in the side-serving room on the first floor was that the priest told me that if I showed Lutz going out as an adoption, it would make other orphans have unnecessary hope.

โ€œDonโ€™t get nervousโ€

โ€œโ€ฆ Itโ€™s too grand for a family meetingโ€

When I and Lutz arrived at the Priestโ€™s room, it seemed that Benno and Marc had arrived, and they were immediately guided by the Gray Priest into the Priestโ€™s room. came.

Lutzโ€™s parents came to the end when Benno finished a greedy and lengthy greeting to aristocrats.

Lutzโ€™s fatherโ€™s body is not so big as it was heard that he is working on architecture, but he is solid. It was the appearance of a worker who was tanned well and worked outside with sweat. The stubborn personality is well represented by the eyebrows engraved between the eyebrows and the gorgeous eyebrows, which seems to be eating a little because of the white-looking blonde hair.

Lutzโ€™s father looked at Lutz for a moment, screamed and greeted the priest. When he gets to the recommended seat, Aunt Carla sees Benno and Marc who are already in the front seats and is surprised.

Marc, what did you really do? What did you say? Is it after threatening already?

When all were in the Priestโ€™s room, three bells rang at high.
